A god of flames once created from its own body an entity meant to teach humans how to wield fire. This soul taught humans how to bear the cold, how to cook, and how to create various useful tools. However, it wasn't before long that the humans used this power to go to war. Humans who could now freely wield the power of fire, demanding even more power, sealed the soul who taught them in this armor.
